The patch titled
Subject: selftests/mm: check MREMAP_DONTUNMAP mlock accounting
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch. Its filename is
selftests-mm-check-mremap_dontunmap-mlock-accounting.patch
This patch will shortly appear at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/selftests-mm-check-mremap_dontunmap-mlock-accounting.patch
This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews. Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.
The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next
If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next
Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's
*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***
The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Subject: selftests/mm: check MREMAP_DONTUNMAP mlock accounting
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 08:39:01 +0200
MREMAP_DONTUNMAP keeps the source VMA in place, but clears its mlock flags
while setting them on the destination VMA. The "mm/mremap: fix two issues
with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP" series fixed two cases where this leaked
mm->locked_vm:
- an unfaulted mlock-on-fault VMA moved behind itself self-merges, so the
single resulting VMA loses the flags without the accounting being
dropped;
- a partial mremap() moves only part of the range, leaving the pages which
are not moved accounted as locked in a VMA whose flags were cleared.
Add a test which mlock2()s a source mapping, moves all or part of it with
MREMAP_DONTUNMAP, unmaps everything and checks that VmLck is back to its
value from before, and run it for the self-merge case and for a partial
move with and without MLOCK_ONFAULT.
Verified on x86_64: the three cases fail on mm-unstable with the two fixes
reverted and pass with them applied.
